OCD owner

[vacation_rentals_suck]

Guest: Dave, I am livid. I am the owner of a property and I am staying here now and I have a diagram in my unit of how everything should be set up yet I come in here and the salad forks are facing the wrong way, the blender is not sitting on the counter the way I have it in the diagram, the deck chairs are supposed to be placed around the table at 90 degree increments so that there is an equal amount of space between each chair, and the shower curtains must hang outide the tub, oh and the remote control is supposed to be flush with the edge of the end table. I even took pictures of it for you so you'd have something to go by. Why is not done properly? You know I shouldnt have to worry about it. I thought to myself surely they'll have it done right. Thank God I'm not a renter...surely you get complaints about stuff like this all the time.

Me: no ma'am we dont, I think most folks just wanna relax and go to the beach

Guest: no you're wrong, presentation is crucial to a good vacation. I want my worthless property manager's phone number. She wouldnt give it to me.

Me: I cant either that is her personal number

Guest: I dont care, give it to me

Me: I do care

Guest/owner: I am gonna look it up in the phone book and if she doesnt answer, I am going to her house...you have no idea how furious I am...I seriously could almost kill someone right now. Thanks for nothing. CLICK

Hello, 911?

[bainsidhe]

Are you sure other renters don't care about these kinds of things? Because your other posts suggest otherwise.

And why aren't the clouds in the sky CUMULUS, Dave??? I specifically requested all clouds above the property be CUMULUS for the guests, and no more than a 65% coverage of the sky, Dave!! And the color of the sky must be Sherwin-Williams 2864 Stratford Blue from the Historic Collection!!!

His other renters seem to care only about discounts that the owners won't allow, extra amenities that they didn't pay for, or him to know every nook and cranny of the property, right down to the number of blades of grass that blow in the wind and at what direction they blow in if an alligator farts.

Now the owner might expect the renters to complain if it's not clean or tidy, but his idea of clean and tidy are FAR different from that of a "normal" person's. Even Drill Instructors aren't THAT anal about things.

I'm impressed you haven't snapped and gone on a killing spree on that island yet.

Do you need weapons?

[protege]

Pardon my French...but that's just fucked up. Sorry, but there aren't really any other words I could think of that would explain it

But seriously though, whenever I've stayed in a place, the silverware gets washed, but usually tossed back in the drawer. I keep all the knives together, the spoons, forks, etc., but I don't care if they all point the same way. I have a life

The blade of grass thing had me The weirdos who live next door to my parents... *would* care about something like that. Seriously, I've seen them in their yard more than once, crawling around with a ruler and a pair of scissors

Do you need weapons?

Oooh, I can help with that. From where I'm sitting I can see seven swords, two daggers, an axe, a halberd, and a war hammer.

Y'know, I can be pretty OCD myself, but I would never expect others to go along with my conniptions. I used to have a coworker who did want everybody to do things her way, so I know damn well what a hell that can be.

You know what would really drive this woman over the edge? Give her almost what she wants. Run over to the property and half-assedly adjust everything, preferably in under a minute. When she finds everything just five or ten degrees off of what she demands... head asplode time.

Fun Fact: The guy who plays Monk is from Green Bay, WI.

Wow just Wow.

You work with such fun people.

*dies* That was beautiful (and somewhere along the same line my thoughts were running).

good time for the manager to call 911 and report him

seriously, who cares about those little things?
Granted you do get some really freaky customers who want everything under the sun, but even this seems a little overboard...

plus being angry enough to go to say he's ready to kill
and then wants to go to her house

i think he needs his meds adjusted, fast!
